Tom Green, the one-of-a-kind funnyman who rose to fame with the success of The Tom Green Show on MTV, is returning to the small screen. Courtesy of Prime Video, there will be three all-new projects from Green made available for streaming this month.

The new projects released this month include a documentary, a new comedy special, and a reality series. Releasing on Jan. 24, This Is The Tom Green Documentary follows Green's career "as a trailblazing influence on comedy, film, television, and internet culture. With thousands of hours of digitalized personal footage, rare episodes, and unseen raw footage from past series and films, the documentary captures the early days of his humble beginnings in Canada, to stardom in Hollywood, as he goes full circle and returns to his roots moving from his LA home to a rural farm in the country." Green opens up on his journey in the doc, touching...

Smallville follows a young Clark Kent as he tries to find his place in the world before becoming the iconic superhero. Clark struggles to understand and harness his growing abilities while protecting his secret. Twenty years later, Smallville is still a staple in the DC Universe; the special effects are a little outdated, but the show has a lot of heart that has helped it stand the test of time.

Over Smallville's ten seasons, there were plenty of great guest stars and characters. One of the more underrated actors to appear in Smallville is Ron Selmour. Selmour guest starred in three episodes, playing two different characters. In the early years, he portrayed an orderly working at the Belle Reve named Connelly, and in season eight, he played a pirate named Marcos who had a pivotal role in Oliver Queen's backstory.

Chicago – Every great film is a delicate balance of a number of critical elements. Good films lack in one department while mediocre films have serious gaps that stick out like a red dress at a funeral. The overall mediocre “Tron: Legacy” is exceedingly fixated on its impressive visual effects while neglecting to focus on creating an evocative and humanized story.

Rating: 3.0/5.0

Despite its big-budget use of special effects, you aren’t emotionally connected to its characters or plot. Following the ahead-of-its-time 1982 film “Tron” with Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner, Bridges reprises his roles in 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” with the duality of both Kevin Flynn and Clu. Boxleitner also returns as both Alan Bradley and Tron.

Perhaps surprisingly for some, “Tron: Legacy” is less about the actual character that is Tron and is much more focused on Jeff Bridges’ characters along with his son, Sam Flynn (played by Garrett Hedlund). And...

A synopsis for Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York:

"A volcano beneath New York City seems unlikely…yet nothing else can explain the bizarre tremors and terrifying explosions wreaking havoc on the city. Tunnel digger Matt MacLachlan (Costas Mandylor) and his team of "Sandhogs" have witnessed lava seeping into the city's aqueduct system and know the unimaginable truth. A scientist's (Michael Ironside) secret,...
